Of his collaboration with Paul Barnett, Hickman has said:

"Paul and I work hand in hand. Paul is the crazy vision guy, I'm the guy that says that's great, but how are we going to do it? He and I work really well together. What you see shows really how we work together. He throws everything against the wall, and we say... how about this? Then he helps to make sure that what happens really works for the game."[5]

During a trip to EA Mythic by members of Blue Öyster Cult, the visiting members co-wrote and recorded a song with members of the Warhammer team, including Jeff Hickman.[6]
